This was one of my first attempts at tacos. I loved the roasted tomato, onion, garlic and jalepeno sauce! The marinade in this recipe made the meat very flavorful, however I am trying to nail the taste of real, authentic Tijuana-style tacos. Every recipe I've tried so far overdoes the marinade. The marinade should give the meat a little bit of zing, IMO, but if you overdo it you will overpower the charbroiled beef flavor. Let the condiments give the tacos their tangy zip. If anyone has a recipe that more closely resembles the authentic Tijuana style I'd love to try it. Thanks!

I have made this dish several times now and everyone always likes it!! I double the liquids and add the seasonings to a plastic bag with the meat to marinate overnight. Then I add the marinated meat with the marinade to the crock pot and let it simmer on low for 4 hours or so, then remove from the crock pot, shred the meat, and then return it to the crock pot for another hour or so. I add fresh garlic as well!! The meat soaks up the marinade! Guaranteed not to be dry!! These aren't authentic carne asada tacos--carna asada is grilled, but they are still delicious!! 2 thumbs up!!

followed recipe to the T.The meat/marinade was amazing as well as the relish! We did not much care for the thick salsa stuff so we will not bother with that next time,will just use hot sauce. We will definatly be making this again! Thanks for sharing.

Don't know if it is authentic or not, but it sure is good. Again, to all those that "add this", "reduce that", "omit that", you are not rating the recipe, but rather your own.
In any case, this recipe is great as is. You can just as easily sub other meats if you don't care for flank steak. Grilled over mesquite is awesome.
